Semi-automated convoy transport system for vehicles

A semi-automated convoy transport system for vehicles, wherein a first vehicle referred to as leader includes a system for positioning the vehicle with respect to the infrastructure, recording the trajectory over which it drives and transmits said trajectory, together with other information to the rest of vehicles of the convoy that follow it, via a communication channel, in the system comprising:

• an infrastructure over which the convoy drives,
• positioning device of the infrastructure,
• several vehicles in each of which the following positioning, control and safety elements are located:
• a high definition radar sensor for exact positioning of the vehicle,
• distance sensor, both at the front and at the rear portion of the vehicle,
• a high precision quartz clock,
• GNSS receiver for synchronising the clocks (7),
• an independent navigation system,
• a load sensor,
• a precision gyroscope for measuring the inclination of the vehicle at any of the coordinates thereof at all times,
• a CPU for managing all the parameters according to the inserted program,
• two 8-conductor spiral cables connected to two front plugs and two rear plugs,
• a transmitter/receiver antenna for radio, coded information and Wi-Fi,
• an extensible rod ending in a V-shaped clamp that allows the resilient spiral cables to be connected to or disconnected from the vehicle in front or behind,
• a Wi-Fi interface for communication between vehicles.
